A NASTY SCANDAL.
| NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-AndreW l..
Soulard sent in his resignation as
school trustee last night, to the Board
OF Education. It was received by a
committee that had assembled to in
veStigate charges of gross immortality
between him and Mrs. Annie Smart,
| principal of Grammar School No. II.
Soulard is a wealthy merchant who for
years past, has been prominent in
educational affairs, and Mrs. Smart is a
buxom brunette of 80, and was one Of
the most interesting teachers. The emf
| nent school trustee evinced the live
lest interest in her and backed by his
influence, she has rapidly advanced
until few weeks ago she was appoint
ed principal of the largest school in the
city. Shortly after this appointment
Smart'S suspicious were aroused and
he set watch on his wife, and as q re-
suit one night, accompanied by three
friends, he repaired to a room on the
| first floor of well known house of as
| S1gnatlOn, broke down the door, and
found his wife and SOulard together.
The husband was with difficulty re-
| strained from committing an assault,
but after while he cooled down some
| what and sarcastically exclaimed:
| Gentlemen there is my faithful
wife, and the gentleman whom you see
| is fine sample of our school trustees. p"
Strenuous efforts were made to hush
the affair up, but without success. as
the husband has instituted proceedings
for divorce, and when Mrs. Smart was
| cited before the Board of Education
yesterday she avoided investigation by
reSigning her position. SOulard had
| endeavored to put bold front on the
matter but his resignation tonight is
regarded as collapse, and created no
| little sensation. In his letter he coolly
says: ut is my opinion that the inveS-
| tigation called for, and which you so
promptly accorded me, will only result
in large waste of your valuable
time what might otherwise be more adj
vantageously used for the public veal. ,

Black came out from the Lawyers

thing to his satisfaction and
convinced him of the business
of our side. General Pryor said: 1
am convinced that the points taken by
Captain Black are excellent, and that
the application for writ of error will
be granted. l do not see how the
application can be refused and we
shall not lose a moment in carrying the
case to Washington. I say that we,

writ in time to prevent the execution

ment, formed from Captain Blacks
notes, the records will show so many
errors that no great extension will be
necessary for us to win. The unexpect

fears.
